CHARGERS NOTES: Up to five starters may miss Sunday's game

SAN DIEGO – Early in the week, Chargers coach Norv Turner said
only wide receiver Malcom Floyd was in jeopardy of missing Sunday's
game versus Kansas City. That's no longer the case.

As many as five starters are unlikely to play after a week in
which seven first-teamers missed practice time. Floyd (groin),
strong safety Bob Sanders (knee) and end Corey Liuget (ankle) were
all listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report. If Turner's
reputation holds, that means those players won't play against the
Chiefs.

Like the doubtful players, tight end Antonio Gates missed the
entire week. He began Friday's walk-through but left the field
after a few minutes. He's listed as questionable, and his playing
status will be determined close to the 1:05 p.m. kickoff.
